So, my question is are these really rare or what because I have never seen one in any LFS or for sale anywhere. Does any one else have one?

I've got a Siganus virgatus on the way.
Here is a good article on rabbit fish that talks about the limited availablity of rabbitfish and how he is trying to change that:

If you've spent any time looking through fish magazines and books you know that there are far more types of "fishes in the sea" than offered to the hobby. Ever ask yourself, "Why is that?" Maybe other kinds of aquatic life are, un-catchable, shippable, uneconomical, too hard to keep??? Well, it ain't necessarily so. I'm here to tell you that there are MANY more fishes, not to mention non-fishes that can and will be added to the markets over time. This article is an attempt at speeding up that rate for one family, the Rabbitfishes. But for one possibly problematical trait (venomous fin spines) these fishes make great aquarium additions
